Frequency Stabilization of Pulsed Injection-Seeded OPO Based on Optical Heterodyne Technique

A frequency stabilizing system for a pulsed injection seeded 1550 nm optical parametric oscillator(OPO) at 20 Hz repetition rate is demonstrated.The optical heterodyne method is used to measure the frequency difference between the seed laser and the OPO output.Using the frequency difference as the error signal,a proportionalintegral controller in combination with a scanner is applied to stably match the OPO cavity length to the seed laser frequency.The root-mean-square(rms) error of the frequency discrimination method is 0.07 MHz according to a ‘frequency shifting-chopping-beat' evaluation.The frequency fluctuation of the frequency-stabilized OPO is0.29 MHz(rms),and the Allan deviation is less than 20 k Hz for averaging time of more than 3 s.     

菲佐测风激光雷达及风速反演算法

 研制了基于菲佐干涉仪的测风激光雷达系统,并使用高斯拟合法和最大似然法反演风速,对两种风速反演方法进行了分析,结果表明：风速较小时,两种方法具有相似的风速反演精度,但高斯拟合法收敛快、受条纹信噪比影响较小;风速较大时,高斯拟合法会由于条纹移出而产生较大误差,而最大似然法在处理风速较大情况时具有优势。实际风速测量时,应根据风速估计值的大小,采用两种方法分别处理大风速和小风速时的情况。最后,使用研制的测风激光雷达系统和风速反演算法,得到了1.5 km以内的大气风速廓线。     

Development of all-solid coherent Doppler wind lidar

A 1 064-nm pulsed coherent Doppler lidar (CDL) prototype is developed to measure short range wind speed in the lower altitude troposphere layer. The CDL system adopts an injection-seeded Nd:YAG laser with the pulse duration of 80 ns, single pulse energy of 0.5 mJ, and pulse repetition rate of 200 Hz. Speed calibration experiments are implemented to obtain a speed accuracy of 0.3 m/s using a hard target. Data analysis results show that the CDL system can obtain a line-of-sight wind velocity at a range of 30 to 500 m with the range resolution of 40 m and 38 pulses accumulation.     

Single-frequency high-energy Yb-doped pulsed all-fiber laser

A single-frequency pulsed all-fiber laser with a master oscillator power amplifier configuration is presented. While maintaining the properties of single mode, linear polarization, and narrow linewidth, a single-pulse energy of 260 μJ and over 500-W peak power is experimentally demonstrated at 1 kHz by employing tensile strain gradient and pulse-shape control methods. In addition, approximately 55 dB of optical signal to noise ratio is also achieved.     

Eye-safe,single-frequency pulsed all-fiber laser for Doppler wind lidar

A single-frequency pulsed erbium-doped fiber(EDF) laser with master-oscillator power-amplifier configuration at 1 533 nm is developed. A short-cavity,erbium-doped phosphate glass fiber laser is utilized as a seeder laser with a linewidth of 5 kHz and power of 40 mW. The seeder laser is modulated to be a pulse laser with a repetition rate of 10 kHz and pulse duration of 500 ns. The amplifier consists of two pre-amplifiers and one main amplifier. The detailed characteristics of the spectrum and linewidth of the amplifiers are presented. A pulse energy of 116 μJ and a linewidth of 1.1 MHz are obtained. This laser can be a candidate transmitter for an all-fiber Doppler wind lidar in the boundary layer.     

Seed laser frequency stabilization for Doppler wind lidar

We demonstrate a tunable wavelength-locked seed laser source with high-frequency stability to realize the precise measurements of global atmospheric wind field. An Nd:YAG laser at 1 064 nm is used as the master laser (ML). Its frequency is locked to a confocal Fabry-Perot interferometer by using the Pound-Drever- Hall method, which ensures the peak-to-peak value of its frequency drifts less than 180 kHz over 2 h. Another Nd:YAG laser at 1 064 nm, as the slave laser, is offset-locked to the above ML using optical phase locked loop, retaining virtually the same absolute frequency stability as the ML. The tunable ranges of the frequency differences between two lasers are up to 3 GHz, and the tuning step length was an arbitrary integral multiple of 200 kHz. The researched seed laser source is compact and robust, which can well satisfy the requirement of the Doppler wind lidar.

相干多普勒测风激光雷达低信噪比区域回波信号的估计方法

相干多普勒测风激光雷达通常会采用周期图最大值法（PM）提取不同距离门信号的多普勒频移（对应风速）信息。由于噪声和相干效率的影响,个别距离门信号会出现信噪比（SNR）突然降低的情况,从而导致系统的探测概率降低,影响系统整体的探测性能。为了解决个别距离门信号多普勒频移的错误估计问题,提出了一种新的非线性自适应多普勒频移估计方法。该方法利用风速的连续性,标定错误距离门,并自适应地利用强信噪比区域的多普勒频移统计数据来弥补信噪比变差而出现的估计错误。分别利用了仿真模型和一套1.54μm全光纤相干激光雷达系统获得了风场测量数据,对比了使用该技术前后反演得到的风速趋势,证明该方法能够有效地解决上述问题。
